LEARN MORE/PAY DUES

ONE OF THE TWELVE GREAT FEASTS!

PLEASE NOTE: THIS DAY IS ALWAYS A FAST DAY!

CLICK HERE TO TAKE THE SURVEY - THANK YOU!!!

We present here a short educational offering for both children and adults on the upcoming Sunday's principle Gospel reading so that all can better prepare for the Divine Services. Parents are asked to review the children’s portion with their children. It is very important for us to attend the Divine Services on Sundays and whenever else we are able, but in addition it is our spiritual responsibility to educate ourselves and our families in the faith. It is our hope that this mid-week offering will be an aid in this regard. Please contact Fr. Gregory with questions or suggestions.

FIVE LINES FOR EVERY ST. VLADIMIRIAN TO READ FOR THIS WEEK!

Thank you ALL for your part in making this year’s festival perhaps the best ever! Those are not my words (Fr. Gregory), those are the words of tons of our guests who were absolutely blown away by your efforts! And – the incredible outcomes that came from those efforts. We will send out a volunteer survey soon – and we ask you PLEASE: tell us how we could do it better next year. But for now – let’s celebrate an AMAZING FESTIVAL! Feedback will be ASAP – perhaps even a rough idea of how we did financially this Sunday. That is not a promise – but a goal. :) Tentative dates for 2026: September 19 & 20!

YES - IT'S A PARTY!
A CLEAN UP PARTY! If we all show up and work hard after work tonight we will be almost done! We are close to the finish line - help us push across by pitching in tonight!!!

"This is the cause of all evils: the ignorance of the Scriptures. We go into battle without arms, and how ought we to come off safe?" -St. John Chrysostom, Homily IX on Colossians.

In order to help increase the general knowledge of scripture in our parish family we present here for your edification the scripture readings for the coming week. At least one Gospel Reading and one Epistle reading are assigned for each day of the year (although during Great Lent the readings are from the Old Testament). Hearing or reading only those readings appointed for Sunday merely scratches the surface of the great spiritual wealth that the scriptures provide us. Some of the readings are easily understandable – others are less so. As Orthodox Christians we do not make private interpretation of scripture, but rather consult the fathers of the Church for their explanations to aid us in our understanding. Those wishing to have access to such explanations are asked to contact Fr. Gregory or inquire in the kiosk for further reading in this regard. Bibles may also be acquired in the kiosk.
